Most tiki cocktails would lack balance without the inclusion of alcohol. Tropical cocktails generally lean towards the sweeter side, and the dryness of alcoholic spirits serves to counterbalance this sweetness. Fortunately, there is a growing variety of excellent non-alcoholic spirits available in the market that can contribute to achieving a well-balanced drink. However, it is important to note that numerous types of rum offer unique complexities to tiki cocktails that cannot currently be replicated using non-alcoholic alternatives.
